1.-THE United States renounces forever any
liberty heretofore enjoyed to take, cure or
dry fish on or within three marine miles from
any Of the coasts, bays, creeks or harbors of
his Britannia maicsty's dominionS in Ameri-
ca not included in the above mentioned
limit, provided, however, that American
1hermen shall be admitted to enter such
lays or harbors for purposes of shelter and
Of repairing damages, of purchasing wood,
If obtaining water, and for no other purposes
whatever" The Canadians now claim that
the three mile line should be drawn from
headland to hcadand, shutting the Ameri-
cans ont of intervening bays. The reader
will see by examining tho accompanying
map how this Interpretation would curtail
the rights Of American fishermen.

DIR. JAMES M'C0ST[.
SKETCH OF THE RETIRING PRES
lDENT OF PRINCETON.


of an American Institution OF Learning
for Nineteen Years What lie Has
Donc-Thc Future of the School.
When Dr. James McCosh took the pres
idcncy of Princeton college in 1868 and an
nounced his ambition to make it Il univer-
sity, the event was considered one of ma
tional importance. Now that he has
handed in his resgnation-to take effect
next February-there is general regret
among American educators. Although
the venerable philosopher has passed his
three score and ten, his intellect is MS Wig
orous as ever; and the very letter in which
he declares that he will quit before weak
ness compels him to, is a pleasing proof
that there is as yet no weakness apparent.
IIe retains his place as teacher of the
higher philosophy, and his profound works
on philosophical subjects grow in interest
with time. The succession of his works
illustrates his mental development, and
both will he better understood by consid-
ering his life record.
James McCosh was born April |, 1911,
in Ayrshire, Scotland, and, as his name
indicates there is in him considerable
strain of the old Gaelic blood. lie was

MCCOSh the degree OF ~. Nj. All his
subsequent work has been in the
line of that essay. He was born student
Of the laws Of mind and the moral nature.
He was ordained in 1883 minister Of the
Established Church Of standardization
ately called the kirk-but in 1913 he
joined in the secession and assisted in
establishing the so called Free Church Of
Scotland His first noted work was en-
titled Method of the Divine Government
Physical anG Moral" The title iudi-
Gates the daring nature of the inquiry
The book was, in fact, an attempt to
reyolutionizc the methods OF theology
and philosophy then current In the
days Of the "Hamiltonians''-in
in all the days before McCosh-
the tendency had been to begin all in
quiries into supernal things by assuming
certain great principles and certain in
buttons and reasoning from them to con
illusions rs to what God must be and man
ought to he. The young disputant AT
tempted nothing less than a complete re
vcrsal and the adoption of substantially
the same system in theology which the
present school of scientists applies in
natural things. viz: Begin with the
proved and admitted facts of the physical
world and from them draw conclusions as
to the unseen.
In lS62 he followed this with The
Supernatural in Relation to the Natural.
in the same line. Both works were eN-
ceedingly timely, for they circulated just
before that wonderful series Of deductions
and assertions Which the public knows by
the vague name of "DarwiniSm' - n
system which attempts in material
things what McCosh had in spiritual.
As the author had to some extent antici-
patcd the argument against Christianity
drawn from "l)arwinism' and by
"lierhert Spcnccrism, his works OBJ
tanned high reputation both i'll
Europe and America. His con
clu~lon We may thus state in our
own words; The distinction Is only con
Ncntional, for the 50 called natural is but "A

had not only MS British subjects, but by discov-
cry occupation and conquest. The revoluton
ended their rights as British subjects and re
mitted them to the claims of international
county only. But their fishing rights
were continued in the treaty OF liS3, with
only ono important Imitation and that by
implication rather than direct statement
Article 3 of the treaty stated section u that
the American people should continue to enjoy
unmoleSted the rights of fishing in all places
where the inhabitants of both countries had
been accustomed to fish at any time hereto
fore" The second, however, provided That
the American fishermen should have liberty
TO dry and cure fish in any of the unsettled
bays, harbOrs and creeks of NovI Scotia,
Magdalen Islands and Labrador, So long as
the same remained unsettled but when settled
previous agreement had to be made for the
purpose with the Inhabitants, proprictors
or possessors of the ground
The fact that this liberty was mentioned as
a concession and not as a right soon raised
serious differences of construction. and the
word 'unsettlcd,' which excited little atten-
ton at the time, became highly important
when the coasts were settled. II needs no
great study of international law to see that if
these phrases were to he construed strictly
the Americans had surrendered their claims
of ante-rcvolutou times. The second war
with Great Britain ended with Il treaty made
with such cagcrneNs that the fisheries were
practically ignored. The American commits
soners i'll the treaty of ISL simply proposed
that "the principles of the status quo ante
bellum be applied to all the subjects of diff
ference The British commissioners replied,
making no allusion to the fisheries. The
Americans agreed to the general treaty, but
made n 'distinct reservation of American
rights as to the fisheries. OF course fresh
disputes arose. and President Monroe APP
pointed Albert Ciallatn and Mr.. Rush to ne
gotiatc new treaty, now much discussed
and known as the treaty of Oct. 20, ISIS.
The first and second sections made
the same provisions as the former
treaty as to unsettled coast, etc."
